The forcing theorem has two central clauses. Definability: for each first-order formula , the relation on conditions and ground-model names is first-order definable in . Truth lemma: for every -generic and every tuple of names in ,Forcing is monotone under strengthening and agrees with the generic-extension semantics. Together with the generic model construction, is a transitive model of ZFC containing with the same ordinals. The definability and truth clauses are the auxiliary parts used when proving individual extension axioms.
